Abstract:
A receiver in a wireless communication system utilizes a metric to minimize the error probability in transmitted information. The receiver may use a detector utilizing multiuser detection or rake detection. The output symbols of the detector are examined and a metric is obtained related to the noise and interference that may have distorted the transmission of the symbol. This metric is supplied to a channel decoder along with the symbol to improve decoding.
Abstract:
The present invention is a channel estimator based on the values of received data and on a priori probabilities only of received symbols. The channel estimator includes a symbol probability generator, a noise variance estimator and a channel tap estimator. The symbol probability generator generates a priori probabilities only of transmitted symbols found in the received signal(s). The noise variance estimator estimates at least one noise variance corrupting the received signal(s). The channel tap estimator generates channel estimates from the received signal(s), the a priori probabilities and the noise variance(s).

In at least one embodiment, phase and magnitude values associated with an antenna element within a low complexity array are dynamically adjusted during device operation in a manner that enhances a predetermined quality criterion (e.g., SINR).
Abstract:
A receiver includes a searcher to identify pilot signals within a received signal and a pilot tracking unit to continuously track pilot signals identified by the searcher. The pilot signals tracked by the pilot tracking unit may include pilot signals associated with an affiliated base station as well as pilot signals associated with non-affiliated base stations. In at least one embodiment, the pilot tracking unit continuously tracks most or all of the pilot signals identified by the searcher.
